PHATSlacko - 5.5 is FATSlacko renamed and updated, so not to confuse with FatDog. This puplet is designed to enhance your productivity at
work or at home. It's based directly on Slacko 5.5

Minimum System Requirements
A pentium i686 class processor, with the PAE instruction, 2GHz single core, 1 GHz dual core, 1 GB RAM, preferably with swap.
No, it's not for old machines. It is designed for production. It runs well on a USB stick, using f2fs (aka Flash Friendly File System).

Features

LibreOffice 4.0.1 - full office suite, mimetypes and all included, click a word document it opens in Writer. presentations work too.

all new 3.8.2 PAE kernel with f2sf (flash friendly filesystem), btrfs and HFS support. HFS and btrfs work in Gparted.
As of now f2fs is unsupported in Gparted, however all necessary tools are included to make a bootable USB with f2fs (manually).
It's mostly Barry's DOT config with the softmac broadcom drivers added and the aforementioned filesystems.

"A drive" technology developed by jemimah with an idea from tazoc and updated by mavrothal.
The A drive is an sfs residing on the CD (in the iso image). You can update it or roll your own. It must be named the same
as the original.

It's labeled "SCSI" but I don't think there are many scsi drivers in there.

jre is built with a script from jpeps, thanks for that.

Known Issues
Sfs are good but PPM is unaware of the libraries in an sfs. There fore you may end up getting deps you don't want or need. If you aren't sure ask! That's why we have the forum. Thanks to tazoc for reminding us of that.

Yeah this is mighty fine! ATM I'm uploading the PHATSlacko iso to my host site (at Godaddy) and I'm listening to a live music broadcast (and it's only interrupted slightly). If it's okay, I got a good md5sum -- so if you think it's alright (...I only use 2% of my allotted bandwidth now) then here are two files presently available. If you don't roll this way, tell me and I'll remove them and edit this posting.

EDIT Hey mick01, I added the Easter full ISO & latest delta today, April 2nd. It's quite a powerful distribution. I tend to use lots of Puppy distros but this one is special, (i think ).

I PHATtened it up a little more and did a remaster,then did a frugal
install of the remaster on an 8gb SDHC card that has 5 other remasters
on it.
Everything is working good other than the vlc pvr but that was also a
problem in an earlier pup with this kernel that Barry made.
Anyways, thanks for PHATslacko, when f2fs gets easier to use I'd like to
try out installing this remaster to a SDHC formatted that way, ext4 is working
well though.

Quick run live pfix=ram. As expected everything working good out of the box. Except......... won't detect or mount a usb flash drive.Kernel "sees" it but no icon or detection by Pmount.
No problem in the 3.7x kernels (and back) but all of the 3.8x kernels exhibit the same behavior.

Testing is fun.......
Still running PHATSlacko on the Athlon XP box..... no apparent problem except for the usb flash drives.Tried to run on a newer quad-core box..... got to the desktop, correctly detected and mounted a flash drive (and unmounted) then froze upmoments later.Hard poweroff.Tried a second time.....same result.
Md5 was verified as well as the burn itself.

[edit - for info only - audacious first run ok but crashes when trying to load extra files
transmission closes when trying to open file]Last edited by ally on Mon 11 Mar 2013, 12:57; edited 2 times in total

You really don't have to change the name. Discerning user will immediately see that FATSlacko is a "fatter" version of Slacko and has nothing to do with Fatdog, FatWary or iFat
That being the case, this release is good one and would meet people who want everything out of the box without adding pets or sfs
